Looking forward to seeing your photos up! I have more, lots more I'll add at some point."
Rayna Corner replied to Rick Schofield, CWE's discussion Where do BC consumers buy BC wine?"Incorrect. VQA stores are stores that only sell BC VQA certified wines. They have winery direct pricing (it is built in to the discount structure). Private stores- also known as LRS- sell beer, wine and spirits. Some match prices with the BCLDB, but…"
Rayna Corner replied to Brad Cunningham's discussion What BC wine would you buy for a very special occasion next summer?"I also highly recommend the Fairview Cellars 07 Cabernet Sauvignon. It's $40 at VQA stores, and while I am obviously a fan of all of Bill's wines, I really believe that he has a magic hand with the Cab, especially this vintage.…"
Rayna Corner replied to Brad Cunningham's discussion What BC wine would you buy for a very special occasion next summer?"Brad,

Valeria Tait said… - Hi Rayna,
Fairview Cellars has a great CF, but I like the style of Poplar Grove's much more - greater layering, more complexity...more of a conversation going on! I think I lean more towards old world rather than new world styling on CF.
